OBSOLETED, REPLACED BY: LINK
Notes: For Debian 10: it is not required to remove packages prior to install of 2.0 unless a previous version of ZFS was installed on the machine. Read the last command of this guide before continuing.
Note2: If you are using your proxmox host for GPU passthrough it is adviced to set options zfs l2arc_mfuonly = 1 to not fill the cache with all sorts of crap if you are doing backups. It will most likely trash your SSD unless it is enterprise grade SLC within a few weeks.
Note3: This does NOT work for a proxmox or debian install with a root zfs pool!!!!!!!!!
WARNING: NOT SAFE FOR PRODUCTION
Here are the commands to enter in order for persistent l2arc to work with proxmox (debian based)
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool gawk alien fakeroot dkms libblkid-dev uuid-dev libudev-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libaio-dev libattr1-dev libelf-dev pve-headers python3 python3-dev python3-setuptools python3-cffi libffi-dev git
git clone https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs
cd zfs
git checkout zfs-2.0.0-rc6
sh autogen.sh
./configure
make deb
apt-get remove zfs zfs-dkms libzfs2 libzpool2 libnvpair1linux libzfs2linux libzpool2linux libuutil1linux
dpkg -i zfs_2.0.0-0_amd64.deb zfs-dkms_2.0.0-0_amd64.deb libnvpair3_2.0.0-0_amd64.deb libzfs4_2.0.0-0_amd64.deb libzpool4_2.0.0-0_amd64.deb libuutil3_2.0.0-0_amd64.deb zfs-test_2.0.0-0_amd64.deb zfs-dracut_2.0.0-0_amd64.deb zfs-initramfs_2.0.0-0_amd64.deb python3-pyzfs_2.0.0-0_amd64.deb
apt-get install zfsutils-linux
Last command removes some of the 2.0 installed packages but without this the pool wont mount on reboot. It does not limit the functionality of ZFS.

Happy Administrator
